\nN\u0103scut \u00een Marea Britanie, John McAfee s-a mutat \u00een Virginia, Statele Unite al\u0103turi de p\u0103rin\u0163ii s\u0103i c\u00e2nd era doar un copil. C\u00e2nd avea doar 15 ani, tat\u0103l s\u0103u, alcoolic, \u015fi-a pus cap\u0103t zilelor. A fost o perioad\u0103 extrem de dificil\u0103, pe care omul de afaceri spune c\u0103 \u015fi-o aminte\u015fte \u00een fiecare zi.<\/p>\n
\nMcAfee a urmat cursurile Roanoke College, unde \u015fi-a dovedit \u00eenc\u0103 de la \u00eenceput spiritul antreprenorial. Primul s\u0103u business a fost de v\u00e2nzare a revistelor din u\u015f\u0103 \u00een u\u015f\u0103, activitatea care i-a adus o sum\u0103 considerabil\u0103 de bani.<\/p>\n
\nA \u00eenv\u0103\u0163at bazele program\u0103rii la finele anilor ’60, atunci c\u00e2nd a lucrat la o companie specializat\u0103 \u00een cartele pentru calculatoare. A plecat apoi la Missouri Pacific Railroad, unde a implementat un sistem de automatizare a orarului de c\u0103l\u0103torie. \u00cen acea perioad\u0103 McAfee a \u00eenceput s\u0103 consume droguri, merg\u00e2nd deseori la munc\u0103 \u00eentr-o stare ce nu \u00eei permitea s\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi fac\u0103 treaba.<\/p>\n
\n\u00cen anii ’70 s-a mutat \u00een Silicon Valley, unde a ocupat diverse pozi\u0163ii \u00een cadrul unor companii de software. Dependen\u0163ele sale au devenit extrem de periculoase: \u00een timp ce lucra pentru compania american\u0103 Omex, obi\u015fnuia s\u0103 consume cocain\u0103 \u015fi s\u0103 bea c\u00e2te o sticl\u0103 de whisky zilnic. \u00cen cele din urm\u0103 a con\u015ftientizat situa\u0163ia \u00een care se afla \u015fi a cerut ajutor.<\/p>\n
\nDup\u0103 reabilitare, McAfee s-a angajat la Lockheed. \u00cen 1986 a citit un articol despre viru\u015fi, iar acest lucru l-a determinat s\u0103 pun\u0103 bazele unei companii specializat\u0103 \u00een combaterea infrac\u0163iunilor cibernetice. La \u00eenceputul anilor ’90, compania McAfee avea venituri de peste 5 milioane de dolari pe an. \u00cen 1996, la zece ani de la fondarea companiei, antreprenorul \u015fi-a v\u00e2ndut ac\u0163iunile pentru 100 de milioane de dolari.<\/p>\n
\nCriza financiar\u0103 din 2008 l-a afectat puternic, pierz\u00e2nd peste 90% din averea sa. S-a mutat \u00een Belize, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 pun\u0103 bazele unei companii farmaceutice. Acolo a suferit o depresie, fiind la un moment dat suspectat chiar de crim\u0103.<\/p>\n
\nMcAfee s-a \u00eentors \u00een 2013 \u00een Statele Unite \u015fi duce o via\u0163\u0103 aparent lini\u015ftit\u0103, departe de camerele de televiziune. Mare parte a vie\u0163ii sale r\u0103m\u00e2ne \u00eens\u0103 un mister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
